Oh good gried, BellaTerra66, get a life. Nobody said you have to eat this, and if the rest want a cheat meal every so often, we actually have a life and do! Nobody said this was diet food, so stop giving a bad review just because you want to live that way. Move along! Great recipe!!

A good recipe. I used a small bag of frozen peas in place of the red pepper (didn't have red pepper). I did find this a bit on the salty side & am thinking of adding some heavy cream to balance that.
I find it difficult to believe this is any nurse's favorite meal. It's high calorie and full of fat and sodium. I'm not against fat -- fat gets a bad rap -- but I am against this kind of fat.
Delicious and different way to use up leftover ham. My husband and I loved this recipe!
Easy, delicious, and a great way to use up my leftover Easter ham. I used medium shell pasta in place of penne.
This is a very easy and great-tasting recipe! I really liked the flavor of the fresh herbs in here.
This is my go to recipe for leftover ham following Easter and Christmas. It is delicious and easy and has become a family favorite.
Very nice recipe
